Five Major Differences Between Millennials And Baby Boomers Research Shows

It’s no secret that the millennial generation differs greatly from the baby boomer generation. However, both need to be respected equally. Millennials mock baby boomers for being out-of-touch and not tech-savvy while baby boomers say that these young kids are way too attached to their phones and too young to be so “anxious” about things.

We do some things differently, we do some things the exact same way. Same goes in terms of our critical thinking and processing. But, having differences is not a bad thing! Here are the five major differences between millennials and baby boomers.
